We make our own
sauce and sell it to customers by the
quart, said Davis. We even have people
come from out of state for it. We have hot,
mild, and medium.
Customers come not only for sauce and
barbequed chicken. On weekends the popular
Summer Place is crowded with people ordering
from a varied menu. Dinner items include
ribs, New York Strip Steak, chicken, wings,
and pork chops. Ribs can be purchased by the
pound, and chicken by the piece. All dinners
include a roll and two side orders.
Complementing the dinners are salads,
sandwiches, side orders, and even seafood.
Available salads include tossed salad,
grilled chicken salad, grilled steak salad,
chicken tender salad, and shrimp salad.
Sandwiches include ham barbeque, beef
barbeque, pork barbeque, ham and cheese,
boneless breast, hot sausage, kielbasa,
steak burger, hamburger, hot dog, rib-eye
steak, hot roast beef, submarine sandwich,
and Philly cheese steak with peppers and
onions. Seafood items include large shrimp,
crab cakes, and eight-ounce cod fish
sandwiches.
Side orders include wedge fries, applesauce,
baked beans, coleslaw, pasta salad, potato
salad, macaroni salad, fruit salad, corn,
baked potato, onion rings, macaroni and
cheese, pepper slaw, mashed potatoes, soup,
cucumber salad, hot cheese balls, fried
zucchini, fried apple, and fried mushrooms.
Children and senior citizens also have a
menu to pick from that includes hamburgers,
hot dogs, chicken tenders, and grilled
cheese.
In addition to this large menu there are
also ice cream sundaes available in
chocolate, strawberry, or caramel.
The menu and the food is hand selected by
Davis, who runs the business within his
family.
I really search hard for my meat through
the local suppliers. We use black angus beef
for burgers and steaks, said Davis.
The Summer Place is very accommodating as
far as the customers schedule. You can call
in and pick up an order or the order can be
delivered if it is within a five-mile
radius. If you are eating at the Summer
Place, orders take approximately seven to
eight minutes to prepare. There are picnic
benches under the pavilion and in the lawn,
as well as an enclosed room called the
Summer Room. This room can be reserved for
special occasions Monday through Saturday.
Customers are welcome to bring their own
beer or wine to enjoy with their meal,
however rules forbid them to leave with an
open container.
Davis has owned The Summer Place since 1993
when he and his father Robert purchased it.
The business itself was established 20 years
prior. Since 1994, Davis has had complete
control of the business, thanks to help from
his four children and other family members.
This business will always remain in
Westmoreland County because I really like
living in this area. We still have a lot of
open space and the people are great, said
Davis. |
